Welcome to my blog
So this is a place I rant and rave, wear my heart on my sleeve, gush on my family, and most importantly share my art...the photo stories of wonderful couples and people I cross paths with. Don't be afraid to bookmark it, or leave a comment. I love hearing from everyone and anyone. Check back frequently...I will try to keep you updated.

Got some more good news. I received the Bride's Choice Award for 2010 from Wedding Wire/ Martha Stewart Weddings, for Columbia. To all that voted, Thank you!! You can leave reviews for your wedding vendors and for 2010 brides you can find your vendors here. This is a really great/ free resource! I love that vendors can upload pictures and give you info about what they offer/ who they are. You get a sense of their style before you even click to view their websites. You can see who recommends who...etc.

OMG is right! I got a call a few weeks ago from "the knot" and totally forgot to blog about it!!!
Now I normally use fb as my sort of diary, but that was then, this is now...you want to know about me...you don't... just don't read stuff that is categorized as personal...cause in my house, there ain't much that is "tmi" to be quite honest. So thanks to all that voted!! I am honored, to say the least!!

It is Bill's bday today..or it was 41 minutes ago.
He is asleep with Abby on the couch. Actually my whole family was on the couch asleep to Hannah Montana earlier. She sort of puts me to sleep too...sorry.
When I asked Bill what he wanted to do for his bday, he said, 'nothing'. He wanted to stay home and tackle his to do list.
He is currently working on a '69 Pontiac LeMans. It is like a family member. It gets sick, it needs attention, it has a room and lots of stuff. Bill wants to give it to Wesley someday and that warms my heart. Something about a man working on a car, just makes me smile. That was my dad...my early memories always involved my dad with a smell of motor oil and cuts that were always dark, dirty, and deep, but rarely a band-aid.
Tonight we had ice cream cake, which Betsy told Bill about immediately when he opened the door. So much for a surprise with a three year old around.
Abby turned six months old yesterday. Time flies. She has two teeth and sits for a bit without help. I spiked her hair like Ed Grimley tonight, with gel.
Wesley lost his first tooth tonight. Seems young, but the "big boy teeth" are already coming in behind. I don't know if that is from the GMO food that we were unknowingly devouring or his teeth are just ready to be in...who knows he is four and it seems super early. We'll see what the tooth fairy brings. You can't buy a Bakugan with a quarter, and I think that was the going rate when I was little.
Emily started another job this week. She works at Salon 3:16 as their receptionist. So call her and she can set you up with an appointment as she tries to keep all those busy girl's schedules straight. It's great having an insider at the salon; I can get an appointment whenever I want. Love that!
Next month around this time Bill will be packing and getting ready to leave. Seems so strange he won't be around until Halloween. He is a part of everything I do...every decision that I make. You fight all your life (or at least I did) to be independent and strong until you meet someone that wins you from inside out and then you are just not yourself without them around. So needless to say, I am pouting- a lot. At least we are not an Army family. I can't imagine that, 18 months away is CAH-RAY-ZAY.
Abby and I got a virus about 8 days ago and it just kicked my butt, her butt...our butts were stuck together in a feverish sweat on the couch. I still wake up with the chills and body aches.
While being sick, we got like 5 inches of SNOW!! I have never seen accumulation like that in SC. Last year we got "dusted" with snow but this was like real, Illinois-esqu snow fall!
The pic is of Wesley and his bud Mason making snow angels.
I better wake the bday boy. We can celebrate tomorrow. Sushi is in order ;)
